The Schleck Bros

[Christian]

Maybe the first step towards a Team Luxair in 2011? It sounds pretty promising!

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

Yes, only one of many co-sponsors. Also only for the remainder of this season, "continue to support Team Saxo Bank throughout 2010."

Schlecks to BMC?

According to luxembourgish newspaper Wort, Andy and Frank might be with Andy Rihs' BMC Racing Team next year:

http://www.wort.lu/wort/web/sport/artikel/83910/wechseln-gebrueder-schleck-zum-bmc-racing-team.php

The article is in German, but I bet there'll be a translation soon (or maybe you know a good translation site on the internet).

It says that luxembourgish investors including Gérard Lopez (who is involved with Renault F1 team) met with Rihs' on his domain in the south of France. The article quotes the swiss paper "Sportwoche", who claims that Rihs would also like to get Cancellara on his team.

Furthermore, the luxembourgish investors will visit the BMC factories in Grenchen soon.

Here is the original swiss article:

and another luxembourgish one:

(both in German)

Some of it is a little contradictory: according to the swiss article, the three luxembourgish investors are interested in taking over Astana, and the second luxembourgish one also claims they are interested in Alberto Contador. This article also says that Andy Rihs already denied having had a business lunch with the luxembourgers to the swiss magazine "Blick".

Today, Flavio Becca (one of the investors mentioned in the swiss article) told luxembourgish newspaper Wort that he does not know Andy Rihs.
Furthermore, Marc Biver said that the swiss article was "completely made up".
Fränk Schleck said on the radio this week that he and Andy will not talk about anything related to contracts or team change until after the Tour de France.

Fränk became a daddy today. His wife gave birth to their daughter on his 30th birthday.

Congratulations!

I wonder if Frank named his daughter Andrea or something similar. I saw them on a show once where Frank insisted when he had a child he was going to name his son Andy, and Andy immediately protested to give the child a better name than that. Which launched into a little Schleck argument.
